The gingers (Hedychium) are enjoying this unseason The gingers (Hedychium) are enjoying this unseasonally warm weather. They are late this year, only just coming into flower as the cool spring put them back. But looking lovely now. Sally has some in pots and a few in a bed beside a hot south facing wall. The pots are moved inside to cool conservatory but those in the ground are mulched and left. If grown in the ground you need plenty of drainage as they don't like cold, wet feet in winter. They can be grown well north - Sally has seen them forming impressive displays in gardens in #cumbria and #Northumberland #gingers #hedychium #hedychiumcoccineum #climatechange #climatechangegardening #walledgarden #ornamentalgarden #containergardening #gardeningtips #globalwarming

The importance of shade. When temps soar as they a The importance of shade. When temps soar as they are now, the value of having some tall plants to create some natural shade becomes clear. Here the squash is benefitting from the shade cast by tall sunflowers and flowering parsnips. #organicgardening #allotmentuk #allotmentgarden #squash #growveggies #shade #gyo #growsquad #growvegetables #organicgarden #climatechangegardening #climatechangegarden
Echium - a towering plant that really brings in th Echium - a towering plant that really brings in the bees and other pollinators. It's a half-hardy plant, native to places like the Canary Isles and Madeira, and grows in gardens in Cornwall. It's like a giant vipers bugloss! It's a member of the borage family, so no surprise bees love it.
Climate change in action. This photo of an oak tre Climate change in action. This photo of an oak tree was taken last week, compare this to the same tree last year (swipe), barely coming into leaf which is really worrying for wildlife dependent on it. Most at risk the many birds that rely on the huge number of caterpillars and other insect foods found in oak trees to feed their nestlings. The blue tits have been busy nesting but there is little food for their chicks, they need up to 1000 caterpillars a day for a large clutch and oak trees are usually the best source. They can source other foods but a fat juicy larvae is the best.
Hellebores - coming to the end of their season. It Hellebores - coming to the end of their season. It's essential to have a variety of spring flowers for early pollinators. It means that if spring is early or late there is something out for the bees, diversity leads to resilience
Great to hear that front gardens are getting green Great to hear that front gardens are getting greener, they are so important in slowing water run off, capturing carbon and supporting biodiversity as this lovely front garden does - drains to catch water, permeable surfaces, flowering plants and still room for the car and bike etc. We need more innovative design like this. . .
